WARRENSBURG, MO - The State Fair Community College will be available on the campus of 欧美视频 in Warrensburg starting in the fall.

 

The colleges reached an agreement this summer in which UCM, for the next academic year, will dedicate a classroom in the James C. Kirkpatrick Library to the program, and SFCC staff will offer the free AEL courses. The facility SFCC had been using for its AEL program is no longer available.

 

鈥淚 am beyond excited for this opportunity,鈥� said SFCC鈥檚 AEL Director, Katie Stanley-Dietzman. 鈥淯CM is my alma-mater and the reason I began my career in education. We are so excited for this partnership and the opportunity to continue serving Johnson County.鈥�

 

According to the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education website, AEL provides assistance at no cost that helps Missouri adults get the basic skills they need to be productive workers, family members and citizens. The major areas of support are Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education, and English Language Acquisition. These programs emphasize basic skills such as reading, writing, math, English language competency, and problem-solving.

 

In addition to AEL, SFCC offers High School Equivalency, skills enhancements, and English Language Learner (ELL) courses leading up to the Test of English as a Foreign Language, commonly referred to as TOEFL.

 

鈥淔or this fiscal year adult education will be the only program offered,鈥� said Stanley-Dietzman. 鈥淚f all goes well, we may look at expanding our services to ELL and possible citizenship classes.鈥�

 

State Fair Community College is a comprehensive community college that provides relevant and responsive learning experiences that empowers students and communities to prosper. Campuses are located in Sedalia, Clinton, Eldon, Lake of the Ozarks, Boonville, and Whiteman Air Force Base.

 

鈥淭his partnership with SFCC deepens our efforts to jointly provide access to education and opportunities for Missouri citizens,鈥� said Phil Bridgmon, UCM provost and vice president for academic affairs. We look forward to the program's success and to future collaboration with our colleagues at State Fair.鈥�

 

Bridgmon鈥檚 comments were echoed by Janette Klein, interim university librarian, who added that JCKL 鈥渨elcomes the opportunity to engage with community literacy partners and to develop ongoing relationships that will help increase awareness of academic and professional resources.鈥� To learn more about the AEL program, visit .
